NH Innovation Research Center

The New Hampshire Innovation Research Center (NHIRC) at UNH and Hutchinson Sealing Systems, Inc. (HHSI) have co-funded a project to develop eco-friendly weather strips that seal retractable driver and passenger-side windows. Ronald U. Goulet, adjunct professor of mechanical engineering, is the principal investigator leading this research.

Hutchinson, located in Newfields, manufactures vehicle weather strips for cars, trucks, and RVs as well as engineered seals used for HVAC systems, computer cabinets, and other containers.
